Firefox Community Forum

I notice right away on the page with your privacy notice that it says 'And unlike other browsers, we give you the choice to turn off the stuff that annoys you.' The thing that annoys me most of all, annoyed me so much that I now use something else outside of work, is that you ram updates down my throat, with no way to turn it off. Hmmmmm, contraction?

Please, let me know exactly how to avoid having notifications about new updates that eventually end with me having to update so I can continue loading websites and I will apologize and reconsider using the browser. Otherwise, please change that wording to include the word some of like ...to turn off some of the stuff that annoys you. If you want to be truly forthcoming say anything we want to allow you control over.

Thanks.

Why do you guys always manage to break a feature with any new update?

For 148.0, you have caused the "Check for updates" button [available under Help > About Firefox] to completely disappear (even though it was here and working perfectly fine a few seconds ago with 147.0.4), creating an unnecessary blank space below the Firefox logo.

On another note, the new font for the logo is a very poor choice, it's a weird combination of square and rounded edges with weird proportions. Who validated this choice?

Hello everyone,

I’m wondering what exactly "remote improvements" actually are.

Mozilla says: "Remote improvements range from fixes to feature changes to Firefox. They are delivered remotely between versions and updates to make your browsing experience stabler and richer (...)."

They are not studies or A/B tests, as those are enabled/disabled separately. They also do not concern WebCompat shims, Safe Browsing, or similar features, nor larger security fixes or more significant bugs that are resolved with a out-of-band update – correct? Is it similar to Windows CU Previews - meaning improvements, fixes, and feature changes that would be included in the next upcoming regular update anyway? Not a case of "let’s roll something out and see how users react" thing?

Have I understood that correctly?

Thanks and best regards, Martin

My browser recently updated and announced some stuff about using AI. I don't want it. I don't want to associate with AI. Is there a way to rollback my browser to a previous version?
